The Progeny
April Glowers Bring....
Getting ready to take Nolan down to Cedar Rapids for another tutoring session.
On an unrelated note....*cough, cough*..... he missed 12 out of 30 in his math, this morning. I spent 20-30 minutes going over "advanced ratios" with him, after his missed the first half of a problem (actually, because he didn't read the word problem carefully) and when I asked him to explain advanced ratios to me, he couldn't. He did admit to reading part of the explanatory material, but since he couldn't regurgitate the information, I had him read it out loud and then I explained it to him.
And by explain, I mean I sat and looked at it until something sunk in, hesitated, fumbled, paged back and forth and then we finally worked through the half of the problem he forgot to do in the first place.
The blind leading the blind, for sure. Not doubt there will be a super outcome in the end, ha ha.
In other news, Derek received a shock from his ICD last evening. He is feeling fine, however. Guess those English Line Dances are more taxing than I'd thought. Lucky for me I have foot problems and can't engage in those kinds of activities.
Speaking of needing a spring tonic, the birds are back. At least, those birds that chirp in the morning. Nice to hear something cheery before the alarm goes off and I force myself out of bed and back into the world of semi-responsibility.
April fist. Hmmm. Seems early, this year. I haven't even pruned the apple trees, yet.
However, that will have to wait. The dishes need doing before we leave.
Also, I need find my makeup to put on myhappy face.
This spring reverie will have to continue at a later date.
